Q: Are antibiotics effective in preventing and treating the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
A: No, antibiotics do not work against viruses, only bacteria.
The 2019-nC0V is a virus and, therefore, antibiotics should not be used as a means of prevention or treatment.
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO Q: Does the new #coronavirus (2019-nC0V) affect older people, or are younger people also susceptible?
A: People of all ages can be infected by the virus.
Older people & those with pre-existing medical conditions appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus
@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO Q: Can pets at home spread the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
A: At present, there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs, cats can be infected with the virus.

GREAT NEWS!
The editors of major scientific journals have agreed to share any papers about the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with WHO before publication, with authors’ consent.
This is important to inform our assessment of the situation, our guidance to countries and actions.
It can take weeks to months from when a paper is submitted until publication.
Sharing pre-publication 2019-nCoV papers with WHO will help us analyze the #coronavirus situation as it evolves, in real time. This helps us to provide the most informed advice and act more quickly.
WHO is not part of the decision process for publication of these new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) papers. It will follow normal processes of the journals.

#Breaking. Contagious, but symptom free incubation period is now being reported.
China says coronavirus can spread before symptoms show -- calling into question US containment strategy
cnn.com/2020/01/26/hea…
“This is a game changer," said Dr. William Schaffner, CDC Advisor
“It means the infection is much more contagious than we originally thought”

🔥This means the three confirmed cases in the United States might have been actively infectious while flying from Wuhan to the US
US health officials believe the Wuhan virus has an incubation period of about two weeks, according to Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, who spoke at a press briefing Friday.

Also harder to find infection sources!
